In the men’s bathroom smoking area, Alex checked Ellie’s Instagram and found it empty. Frustrated, he left the restroom, bumped into Layton, and asked him for a cigarette.

Layton immediately spotted something off about Alex. After ensuring no one was around, Layton whispered, “Having a boyfriend is good for Ellie.

Alex shot Layton a fierce glare. “Good my ass.”
